On Monday, April 23, I had the amazing privilege of attending the Sr. Piano Recital of one of my very first piano students! Meghan Walsh came to me as a shy 8 year old, but over the next 10 years of lessons, she blossomed into a hard-working, determined student. Despite many personal obstacles, she is graduating from Augsburg with a degree in music this month! Her goal is to pursue a master’s degree in music theory and to become a music theory teacher. I could not be more proud!

In addition to hearing Meghan’s beautiful music, another joy of the evening was to visit with families that attended her recital that had also taken lessons with Signature. These families are neighbors and friends and it was in their neighborhood that Signature School of Music was born!

One mom reported: “When Jay comes home from college, the first thing he does is sit down at the piano and play! He makes such beautiful music come out of the piano that was given to me by my grandmother.” Another mom told me that her son loves to “write and arrange music on his Mac computer in his dorm room.” This brings joy to my heart! The goal of Rogers School of Music is to create lifelong lovers of music! Through hearing these testimonies, I know MY dreams for all our students are becoming a reality!
